Uber sued New York City on Friday over a new rule limiting how much time its drivers can spend in their vehicles in Manhattan without passengers, saying the rule threatens to undermine the company’s ride-sharing model.
In its complaint filed in a New York state court in Manhattan, Uber called the “cruising cap” rule adopted last month “arbitrary and capricious,” and said it was based on a flawed economic model.
Uber also named the city’s Taxi and Limousine Commission as a defendant.
